Chapter 318 Stealing from the Wall
What Jiang Cheng said may seem exaggerated, but it's not. With this wine, if you want to open a restaurant, the business will definitely be very good. It's inevitable that the business of other restaurants will be affected.
"No matter what you do, your parents will support you."
Looking at Jiang Cheng and his mother, Jiang Mi's worries vanished. Even if business was bad, she was no longer worried. If she didn't try, she would never taste success.
"Okay, I'll go rest for a while, and I'll make you some sundae wine to try later."
"Any new ones?" Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Mi expectantly. "Great, great, my trip was worthwhile. The new wine my honey made will definitely taste amazing."
Jiang's mother rolled her eyes at him: "If you want to live a couple more years, drink less."
Jiang Cheng wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, I know what I'm doing. I'll keep this pot of wine for myself."
Jiang Mi left it with Jiang Cheng, and went back to make apricot blossom wine and plum blossom wine. When the three kinds of wine were sold together, their fragrance would surely spread for miles.
"Miss, how did you learn to brew wine? I don't think the two young masters and the master and mistress know how to brew wine." Mo Hua's face was full of curiosity and admiration. In her heart, her young lady was simply omnipotent.
"I just did some random research on my own. You guys shouldn't drink anymore, or you'll get drunk." As soon as Jiang Mi finished speaking, Mo Hua and Si Qin collapsed one after another, still smacking their lips, looking like they were really enjoying their drink.
Jiang Mi sighed helplessly, feeling as if she had gained two more younger sisters. She helped the two of them onto the bed, covered them with blankets, and then went out.
Manager Liu was released the next day. He had powerful backing, so the government officials didn't dare to do anything to him. Fortunately, for some reason, Manager Liu actually paid compensation for the things he had smashed, and the matter was considered to be over. However, Jiang Mi felt that the matter was not over yet.
Business at Yue Shangshao was even better, with many people from other places coming to visit, and many wanting to cooperate in business. Jiang Mi didn't refuse any of them, but she didn't show herself easily, letting Manager Liu handle everything. She sat behind the screen listening, not considering anyone who seemed unreliable, and even if some people seemed decent, she would investigate them carefully.
Jiang Mi had chosen a location for the winery. It was in the alley behind the academy, at the very end of which was an empty little estate, perfect for a winery. However, it was right across from that strange shop, making it seem as if she had done it on purpose.
"Help me hire a few people to handle the winemaking, and also a reliable housekeeper. I don't usually stay at the winery; the business is handled by the housekeeper. You've been here for many years; perhaps you know some trustworthy people?"
Jiang Mi didn't go to Huo Ran, but instead asked Manager Liu. This person had always been very dedicated to his work, which made Jiang Mi very satisfied. If Manager Liu knew someone, that would be the best outcome.
"I do know him, but he's working for another company now. I heard a while ago that he wanted to move to another place. I don't know if he was just complaining."
Jiang Mi didn't insist: "Then you can ask around for me. If you don't want to, that's fine. If you do, the treatment will be similar to yours. It would be best if you came from an ordinary family with a clean background and good character. I don't want any traitors in my family. It would be ugly if we ended up falling out. Please take this matter to heart, as well as some master brewers."
Manager Liu said worriedly, "We don't lack brewing masters, but what if they learn your skills, Manager? The brewing here is all done by our own family members. We leave the miscellaneous work to apprentices. The real skills are all done by our own family members."
Jiang Mi doesn't have time to brew wine non-stop at home every day, but she has always kept the most important process a secret. Even if others learn it, they can only learn a little bit of the basics, just like before in Shushan County. The essence is all in Jiang Mi's hands.
"Don't worry, I've kept the secret, no one can learn it."
Manager Liu exclaimed in surprise, "Manager, you are truly skilled! You can even make wine. It's astonishing! Is there anything you can't do?"
Jiang Mi was used to being praised, so she didn't think much of it: "Well... there's still a lot I don't know, but in business, you have to have some strengths. I want to buy this estate. You can help me negotiate. As long as the price is reasonable, I can accept it."
Manager Liu looked at the small, dilapidated courtyard in surprise: "This place has been used for some business before, but it couldn't be done because it was too remote. Many people are unwilling to set up their businesses in such remote places. Manager, you want to open a winery here?"
Jiang Mi nodded: "The name is Deep Alley. Good wine needs no bush. I have a lot of confidence in myself. Don't worry, once you drink my wine, you'll know why I'm so confident."
When Manager Liu heard Jiang Mi say this, and considering that Yue Shangshao's business was also doing so well, he figured the manager's words must be true.
"Alright, then leave things here to me, don't worry." Manager Liu was in full charge, so Jiang Mi was quite at ease. However, Manager Liu had too many things on his plate right now, and Jiang Mi was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle them all. Once the new winery manager arrived, she would hand over the cooperation between Yue Shang Shao and others to Manager Liu.
As soon as Manager Liu returned home, he saw a familiar person standing at the door. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Manager Liu himself.
"Manager Liu, you must be a very busy person. I've been waiting for you here for a long time. It's so late. Your manager is too harsh on you."
The man's politeness made Manager Liu suspicious, so he put on his usual smile and said, "Manager Liu, what brings you to our humble abode? It's truly an honor for us to have such a distinguished guest visit our place."
Manager Liu smiled faintly: "You really know how to talk. The last few days of the month are probably mostly thanks to you. It's a pity this place is too small, not enough for you to show your skills. Besides, your manager is just a woman. What can women know? They just want to do some small business to make a living. They don't have any great ambitions. You, a grown man, working under a woman must be very frustrating, right?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Liu roughly guessed the purpose of Manager Liu's visit, but simply smiled and remained silent.
Seeing that Manager Liu was still wary, Manager Liu clapped his hands, and the people behind him took out a box.
